Ok.... still the best striker in the history of heavyweight MMA. You can have a difference of opinion based on your observations as a fan, but it is what it is. Sowwy

Who else in the UFC has fought that kind of competition in boxing?That's a pretty typical boxing record though. A lot of them fight nobodies and journeymen with losing records for at least their first 10-20 fights before stepping up in competition. He was a -1200 underdog in that heavyweight title fight.
People who shit on Bisping as a fighter also never understand why he wins so much.
Stipe has knocked out five of the toughest dudes in the division clean the fuck out, most in the first round.
WTF more does he have to do to get recognized as a *star* MMAist? Kill someone?
Or is this just another "I'm White and watch wayyyy too much porn, so I've developed a fetish for big Black cocks" thread in disguise?
Good point. Do bisbing and forest have 4 first round finishes combined?Total insult to Stipe to compare him to those two. Much more skilled fighter with a truckload more power. Four straight first round finishes.
Not to hate on the Reem but this isn't the greatest decription.

Where does something like this even come from?
Freudian Slip???
Continued obsession and lionizing of Ngannou and continued minimization of Stipe (when the latter has accomplished WAY more in MMA) can only be explained by a love of black cocks, which in turn can only be explained by homosexuality and/or having your sexuality warped by porn.
It's just science my dude.
I don't really enjoy Stipe's fights because he's a worker, he's not a lethal striker with 1 punch KO power or an elite ground game that is dangerous. He wins by using solid striking and having great cardio, normally he wears his opponents down and gets the finish unless you run at him with hands down chin out like Werdum or have a glass chin like Overeem. Sure at HW anyone can knock out anyone but Stipe just doesn't have the 1 punch KO power like a Hunt or Big Country or the quick submission game like Frank Mir. It's always exciting watching a fighter who can end the fight in a second. Usually with Stipe it's not that exciting, you see it coming because his opponent is worn down which happens sooner at HW than other weights normally. I said the same thing about Bisping before he fought GSP, that he was the perfect opponent for GSP, a fighter who wasn't a threat striking or on the ground, and we saw how that went.
Like Stipe, Bisping, and Forrest Griffin are/were the same way, not lethal in the striking or ground area so they'd just wear their opponent down with their solid fundamental striking and great cardio and eventually get the TKO or submission. They all also have very good TD defense or had the ability to get up so that they weren't on the ground much.
With Stipe fighitng Francis Ngannou, Stipe's best chance is to avoid France's vicious 1 punch KO power and use his better striking to wear Francis down and open him up. Eventually Stipe could wear him down or catch him, stun him, and finish him by TKO......but Stipe tends to not have the best striking defense and has been dropped in a few of his fights, against France's he'll be finished.
How do I see Stipe vs. Ngannou going?.......I see Stipe doing well in the first, keeping Ngannou at bay and looking like he's going to win until Ngannou catches Stipe with a big one and drops him and then finishes with GnP punches for the KO/TKO.
Your science.
I would say that if you win a gold glove you are an above average boxer. Its not a participation sticker.no but arent golden gloves kind of common compared to the last 2 you mentioned?
